Meteor T.7, G-BWMF

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

This is my HK Models Meteor F.4, converted into a T.7 using the Fisher Models resin set, incorporating the narrow chord intakes that are specific to the majority of T.7 aircraft. I've also added a smattering of Eduard stuff around this build, for landing flaps, seatbelts, wheels and mudguards etc. It's a little worrying when you hack off huge sections of your expensive model kit with a razor saw, but this one built up just beautifully. I've used MRP (Mr Paint) for all colours, such as Sulphur Yellow, Basalt, White Aluminium, Lemon Grey and Syrian AFV Yellow-Brown etc. Also some nice Airscale bezels and decals on the instrument panels. Masks are courtesy of Miracle Masks.

 

Watch out for this one in the November edition of Military Illustrated Modeller (No.79), due out around mid-October 2017.

Stunning work.

 

Oldest jet still flying in the World no less, and here is one I took earlier.... on Photobucket as it still runs to 2018 for me.

They are shots of the real thing flying, though I had to convince people they were not a posed model lol.

 

Although for sale here

Very well done, I like the unusual choice of paint scheme.  :goodjob:  Have you ever thought of writing a book on basic modelling using this model as illustration, what you might call a primer ... I'll get my coat. :sorry:
